Abstract
The invention relates to an optoelectronic sensor, in particular to a light grid (), having at least two circuit boards (-) which are to be arranged one after the other in a longitudinal direction (, z direction) and on which a plurality of light transmitters () and/or light receivers () are arranged in series, wherein the circuit boards (--) are fixed in a desired position with respect to one another by a functional element () and wherein the circuit boards (--) are held in a housing (). It is proposed to provide an improved optoelectronic sensor, in particular a light grid, that the housing () is configured as a section and the circuit boards (--) are held via the functional elements () in oppositely disposed grooves () of the section () which extend in the longitudinal direction (, z direction) so that the functional elements () position the circuit boards (--) in a fixed position perpendicular (in the x-y plane) to the longitudinal direction (, z direction).
